The Prayer of Faith
()
About this ebook
James 5:15 “And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
In this passage of scripture, the Holy Spirit speaks about the prayer of faith. And He speaks about the certainty of the outcome of this type of prayer. For in this passage, the Holy Spirit tells us categorically, that the prayer of faith will (not might) heal the sick (the word translated “save” more correctly means “heal”) and even if sin in the life of the believer was the cause of their sickness, God would forgive their sin. And so, we see from this passage of scripture, that the prayer of faith, when applied correctly, will always produce the desired outcome.
Michael Maher
From childhood, Michael E.B. Maher has always known that the Lord's call was upon his life for the ministry. When he was saved at the age of twenty-two, almost immediately the Lord Jesus began to deal with him about entering the ministry. However, it was only many years later that he committed to the Lord to answer the Lord's call to the ministry. And so, in 2014 Michael Maher Ministries was begun. From the beginning, the mandate given to Michael from the Lord Jesus was to preach the word. And so, this ministry preaches the word of God on every available platform around the world.

New Covenant priests
Hebrews 6:19-20 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, (20) where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
In this section we want to discuss the biblical truth that New Covenant saints have become eternal priests according to the order of Melchizedek. A number of things have changed between the New and the Old Covenants, and one of the changes is in the priesthood. The Old Covenant priesthood was an earthly priesthood ordained by God to offer physical sacrifices i.e. bulls and goats, etc. That priesthood was known as the Levitical priesthood because only the sons of Levi qualified to serve as priests. God appointed Aaron as High Priest of that priesthood and only his direct descendants were allowed to serve in that capacity. Because death prevented the High Priest from continuing, that priesthood was obviously temporal in nature. Nevertheless, since the destruction of the Jewish temple in the year seventy AD that priesthood has been suspended until the temple is rebuilt in the city of Jerusalem. And so when God introduced the New Covenant He changed the priesthood. The New Covenant priesthood is a heavenly priesthood ordained by God to offer spiritual sacrifices. God has ordained that priesthood as an eternal priesthood according to the order of Melchizedek, and as we can see from the above quoted passage of scripture God has appointed the Lord Jesus as High Priest of that order.
Revelation 1:5-6 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, (6) and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
We have seen that only the sons of Levi qualified to serve as priests under the Old Covenant. However, in the passage of scripture quoted above the Holy Spirit reveals to us that the Lord Jesus has made all of His saints to be priests of God. And so we see that just as the Lord Jesus has become our High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek, so it is that His saints have also become priests according to the order of Melchizedek. And just as the previous passage of scripture stated that Jesus had become High Priest forever, so it is that His saints have also become priests forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
To summarize; from our examination of the scriptures quoted in this section we have established that God has changed the priesthood under the New Covenant. We have seen that the new priesthood is an eternal priesthood according to the order of Melchizedek. We have also seen that God has made Jesus the High Priest of the New Covenant priesthood. And finally we have seen that all of the Lord’s saints have been made priests forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
New Covenant sacrifices
1 Peter 2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
In this section we want to discuss the spiritual sacrifices that the New Covenant priests are called to offer before God. As we have already mentioned, the priests under the old covenant were appointed by God to
